Heidegger's Early Approaches to Paul's Understanding of »Primitive Christian Religiosity«

Abstract
Heidegger's early research of the epistle St. Paul makes possible the development of a phenomenology of religion, which from the point of view of each alienable and psychological relationship of the very phenomenon of religion, observes with regard to the course of its »accomplishment« in actual »faith being-there«. The return of Paul has from this the character of discovery of the structure of primitive Christian religiosity, in which is reflected man's ontological »anxiety« (Bekümmerung) over his own being-there which arises from not possessing sure knowledge of salvation and the coining of the Saviour (παρουσία). In this sense, the concept of phenomenology of pre-Christian religiosity becomes an analysis of faith being-there, and at the same time becomes a preparation for that existential analysis of being-there which ultimately takes shape in Heidegger's Being and Time.
